Dental Implants – Hamden, CT

State-of-the-Art Tooth Replacement

Human teeth are quite strong, not just because of the enamel, but also due to the fact that they are deeply rooted in the jawbone, which provides an extremely sturdy foundation. When one tooth goes missing, most replacement procedures only bring back the part of the tooth you can see, which automatically makes them less stable and less reliable than their natural counterparts. Dental implants in Hamden, on the other hand, replace both the crowns and roots of lost teeth. At New Haven Dental Group in Hamden, we may be able to use this one-of-a-kind solution to replace your missing teeth. Unlike other dental offices, we are able to perform the entire implant procedure from beginning to end in one convenient location.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Security: A dental implant consists of a small titanium cylinder that we insert into the jawbone — it mimics a tooth root. The implant supports a restoration that replaces the visible part of the lost tooth. Because the new teeth are anchored within strong bone, patients do not have to worry about them destabilizing regardless of what they may be eating.

Aesthetics: Implants are similar to natural teeth in many ways — including the way they look. Only you and your dentist will have to know which parts of your smile are not your own!

Bone Loss Prevention: The jawbone supports the teeth, but the teeth also support the jawbone. When teeth go missing, the jawbone begins to atrophy and shrink. Implants are the only treatment with the ability to prevent and even reverse this process.

Longevity: With proper oral hygiene, a dental implant may last for 30 years or longer.

Indications for Dental Implants

No matter how many teeth you are missing, dental implants may be the ideal treatment for you. Our team can help you choose from among the following types of restorations:

Missing One Tooth

Instead of using a traditional dental bridge to replace a single tooth, we can place an implant-supported crown directly into the empty space. This makes implants superior to bridges because the bridge installment process requires that we file down the surrounding teeth.

Missing Multiple Teeth

While single implant crowns are often perfect for restoring nonconsecutive missing teeth, just two implants can secure a bridge that replaces up to four teeth in a row. This is a much more conservative and cost-effective solution that delivers fantastic, natural-feeling results.

Missing All of Your Teeth

If you are missing all of your teeth, and you are tired of your denture always slipping out of place, we can use 4 – 6 dental implants to support a prosthetic you never have to worry about. Implant dentures are not only much stronger than regular ones, but the initial fit can also be trusted to last for years at a time.

Start to Finish Convenience

Dental implant posts must be surgically inserted into the jawbone; most other dental offices will refer you to an expensive outside specialist to have this procedure performed. At New Haven Dental Group, however, we are able to carry out the entire implant treatment right here in our dental office, saving patients time, money, and stress while they undergo their tooth replacement journey. With us, you will enjoy the peace of mind that comes with being able to work with the same team the entire time.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants

One of the most outstanding things about dental implants is that they are so versatile since they can be used to replace any number of teeth. Because of this, there is no set price for the treatment. The cost varies from patient to patient and depends on how many implants are needed as well as what type of restoration is used. Before we begin treatment, we will go over all pricing information with you so there are never any unpleasant surprises.

While implants do present a significant cost, we believe they are more than worth it! In addition to offering superior aesthetics and function compared to other treatments, they are also extremely durable. In many cases, implants last for 30 years or more, much longer than traditional dentures and bridges that may need to be replaced every 5 – 7 years. In fact, implants’ durability means that they might end up costing you less in the long run than treatments that have a lower upfront cost.
